MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In monetary circles to-day a very beneficial influence has been produced by the Returns issued from the Banks of England and France. There are few people now con versant with financial business who do not expect an early reduction in the official minimum. The Bank of France have already taken the initiative and lowered their quota• tion to 7 per cent,, and the disproportion of that rate to the one current on this side will preclude the possibility of gold being eent from here to Paris. So far monetary relations are highly satisfectcry ; and as thn Bask of England has lately increased its reserve to a rather considerable extent there appears every probability that ~ he authorities will be compelled b,fore long to grant a substantial discount con cession to the commercial community. This idea being very prevalent the public are holding over their bills, and notwithstand ng that today is the 4th of the month, when a large number of bills arrive at maturity, the demand for acc ommodation has been moderate. The lowest rate for three -months' paper is 81 per cent. The return issued by the Bank of England furnishes satisfactory evidence of the improvement which that esta. blishment has undergone during the past week.

The bullion shows an increase of £53,400, and the current accounts of £1,272,000. The discounts, how■ ever, have been augmented by £1,106,700, and the notes in Trcati°ll4 £352,000. A d ecrease has ta k en p l ace i n th e aury balances representing £640,000. A. further aura of £57,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday.

CRWELTY TO A PONY.—Robert Smitli, of Yeddon, Middlesex,' was charged before Mr Yardley by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with cruelly ill-treating it by working it in an unfit state. Yonts one of the officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, saw the defendant this morning driving a pony attached to a costermonger's bar row in Pall-Mall. Observing the pony was lame, Yong stopped it, and on examining it found the knee of the off foreleg was twice the usual size, the off hind hock sprained, and the sinews of the leg contracted. The pony was very old, in poor condition, and totally unfit for work. The defendant said he came from Yeddon, near Uxbridge, and was going back. The pony was in such pain that it could not bear being touched, and trembled when it was touched. The defendant said all that was the matter with the pony was that it was sprained in one leg. It was not pain that made it tremble. Mr Yardley—l suppose it had a natural dread of the officer of tha society. How much did you give for it ? Defendant—Two pounds• Mr Yardley—Take the pony home, let the cart be de tained, bring another horse for it, and do not let the pony be seen in the streets again, This, I think, will be suffi cient punishment for you. 81 129 46 } i )511 4 .31g 76} 51 6 51 116 15& 1031 39f 40 ,117 1 17 10 115 141 151 i 135 41 54i 4 I 25 110!

THAMES, A MOST INCORRIGIBLE WOMAN.--Mary Ann Bennett, a prostitute, was charged, before Mr Partridge, with being drunk, disorderly, and making a disturbance. Edwin Ashley, 495 K, stated that the prisoner was very riotous in King David-lane this morning, and made use of ♦ery bad language. When she was taken into custody she plunged, kicked, and made a determined resistance. She was like a mad woman. Police-sergeant John Sampson, No, 21 K, stated that the prisoner was the most incorrigible woman in the district. She had been recently liberated from prison, after 21 days' confinement. She had been in custody to his knowledge 33 times since March 1, 1861, and had been frequently con victed of assaults, felony, die rderly conduct, drunkenness, unlawfully pawning of property, and other offences. In the course of the last three years and seven months, over which his list extended, she had been in prison about half the time. When she was last before the Magistrate she preferred a charge of harshness and ill-usage against s police constable, The case was investigated, and turned cut to be unfounded. She had given great trouble to the police csi repeated occasions. The prisoner, who is 30 years of age and appeared to bo 60, said she was tired of her present mode of life, and wanted to get into an institution. She implored of the Magistrate to send her to some asylum. Mr Partridge expressed his inability to send the prisoner to any institution. There was no doubt the prisoner was incorrigible, that she was a drunkard, a thief, and he feared from what he had heard and seen of her conduct before that she was utterly irredeemable. The best place for her was a prison. She must not be let loose on the public again for some time. 'With that view he should call upon her to find bail to keep the peace for six months. He knew she would not be able to provide the required sureties, and she would be in prison six months and out of harm's way. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL BRUTALITT.—Georgo Martin, a man about 40 years of age, was charged with the following dis graceful brutality to his wife, Jane Martin, a comely looking woman, about the same age as the defendant, said she lived at 10 New-street, Brompton, and had to complain of the most serkus ill treatment from her husband. He attacked her last night between 12 and 4 o'clock. She was in bad at the time it commenced, and when her husband came home he dragged her out of bed by the hair of the head (she produced a great quantity of hair torn from her head), and then beat her about for a length of time, and assaulted her very violently. Mr Selfe—Did you give him any provocation ? Complainant—Not the slightest. I was in bed asleep when he came home, and we had no words. Mr Selfe—How long have you been married to him ? Complainant—Five years. I was a widow when he married me and had children. Mr Selfe—ls your husband in the habit of illusing you ? Complainant—Very often and very brutally. lam now in the familyway, and if anything unfortunate should occur through this it will be the third time that I have miscar ried through his violence. Defendant—l bought coals, and potatoes, and other things, and took them home for sale, and they let some of them spoil. William Bevan, 326 B, said he was called to the house between 3 and 4 o'clock this morning. He went into the room occupied by defendant, and found that the com plainant had fainted. She appeared in a very bad state, and gave him into custody. A lodger in the house confirmed the account of defen dant's brutality, which had been going on some time. Mr Selfe (to defendant)—You are a great brute, and it is quite clear this is not a solitary instance of your being so, You are committed for three months to hard labour, and will find bail for three months afterwards. kIARKETS—This Day.

Alleged Murder of a Newly-married Woman. Yesterday evening Mr John Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, held a protracted inquiry at the Wellington Tavern, Cannon-street-road, respecting the death of Mrs. Eliza Roche, aged 45 years, who was alleged to have been poisoned four weeks after marriage, Owing to the singular circumstances attending the death and the attempted burial of the deceased without compliance with the proper forms, the case excited great interest in the neighbourhood. It may be mentioned that the deceased was an Englishwoman, and that in September last she em braced the Roman Catholic faith in order to get married to an Irishman named Patrick Roche, whose age was variously stated to be 70 or 56 years, but who was in very independent circumstances. The first witness was J. Smith, engine -driver, residing at No. 3, King-street, St. George's-in—the-East. He said that he was the brother of the deceased. She was married about four weeks before her death to Patrick Roche, and up to that time she was healthy. She had been a Protestant until withia some days of the marriage, and she had then turned Catholic in order that she might marry Roche. Witness saw her on Satur day, the 22d of October. She was then 'vomiting blood in great quantities. She died on Wednesday, the 26th of October. Dr Arnold was in attendance on her. Coroner—During the three days she was ill, did she tell you that she had been poisoned ? Witness said she did not; but she said that her mouth had become sore just previously, and that Dr Belcher had stated that it looked like the result of poison. After her death witness went to the registrar, and said he believed his sister had died by unfair means, and notice was sent to the coroner of the fact. Deceased and her husband had lived happily together. Mr Thomas Overton said that he was the coroner's officer for that district. From the information of the rela tives of the deceased he went to Mr R ache's house in King-street on the 30th October. He saw the face of the deceased covered with blood. He told Roche what the obligations of the relatives were, and forbade the burial. Roche replied, "I will bury her in spite of them, or the coroner, or any ono else." Witness then went to the under taker, Mr Burridge, and told him the same. Burridge said he would lose money if he did not do the thing as ordered. The body of deceased was the* carried to Low Layton, but the minister reused to bury it there, as there was no certi ficate, and the body was left in the chapel until it was brought back by a coroner's warrant, Dr Belcher said that he had made a post-mortem exami nation of the body of the deceased, and had removed the stomach, &0., for analysis. The Coroner directed that the viscera of the deceased should be sent to Professor Letheby for chemical analysis. The case was one that required a rigorous investigation, The court then adjourned. - - The Franco-Prussian Tariff and Trade Marks, A circular has been addressed by the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce to the President and Standing Committee of the Association of Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom, upon this subject. The circular states:—" I beg to subjoin a copy of a resolution of this Council, passed at meeting held on the 26th ult. That the Council enter their strongest protest against the proviso annexed to Art, 28 of the Franco-Prussian treaty with reference to trade marks, The effect of that clause is to exclude from inter national protection all trade marks which have heretofore existed in this country, and which alone are valuable, and to give protection only to those marks which are newly created and consequently of little or no value. The clause in question will legalise the va•t system of frsud, of which British manufacturers have long complained, by which the best English names are affixed by German makers to worth less articles, and sold in great quantities in distant markets as genuine manufactures. All reductions in the tariff will be worthless if they have to be purchased by the transfer by treaty of all our valuable trade markets to German mer chants and manufacturers. Moreover, the advantages re sulting from the reduction of duties in the tariff will be confined to !the Zollverein and this country, whereas the injury arising from the imitation of British trade marks will extend to every country with which we have com mercial relation. The council therefore instruct their secre tary to communicate with the Association of Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom, in order that the chairman and other officers of the association, accompanied by a deputation from this council, may wait upon Earl Rus sell. and respectfully urge upon his lordship on no account to sanction the incorporation [into the treaty with England] of a clause so injurious to British manufacturers, and so manifestly repugnant to all honest and fair dealing.' The council feel that this is emphatically a case for the associa tion to take up, and they will doubtless feel it their duty to do so. It seems to us to be imperatively necessary that as strong a deputation as can be got together should re present to Lord Russell the fatal consequences to the manu facturing industry of this country of his sanctioning any treaty containing such a clause as the one above sot forth. The council will be happy to concur in any appointment which may be made, and will also endeavour to procure the attendance of the borough members."

OPENING OF THE NEW POTATO MARKET AT KING'S' CROSS.—Tho new potato market erceted by the Great Northern Riilway Company adjacent to the goods station, in Maiden-lane, King's-cross, was opened for busi ness yesterday, and was well attended by buyers and sales men. The market stands on a larger area than those at Spitalfields and Borough combined, and contains 21 ware houses, besides sheds of sufficient capacity to contain the consignments of that vegetable which arrive by the railway from the northern counties and from Scotland. The danger to labourers of backing and carrying the sacks across the line is obviated by a siding, upon which trucks arc brought close to the warehouses. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BROMLEY FLAT RACES WAND SPEEPLE- CHASES—MvusDAT. The popularity which steeplechasing has gained with the public and metropolitan holiday seekers generally has in duced the promoters to establish this meeting. The weather was exceedingly fine, and Mr J. F. Verrall's name in con nexion with the management was certain to insure liberal. support. The inclosure was well filled, and the stand, which has been recently removed from Croydon, afforded ample ac commodation to the visitors. The proceedings commenced with the Volunteer Cup,which was won by the favourito,Old Surrey. The Bromley Plate brought a good field to the post, but a most tedious delay of more than three-quarters of an hour ensued. The favourite, Land of tho West, at length, when the start was tff:cted, got off with a clear lead of the other thirteen, which ho maintained until coming into the straight, where he stumbled on to his held, but recover ing again, won by half a length from Starbeam. Fanny Seaton fell at the turn, at which point the course is very uneven, but Dicker, the jockey, only received a severe shaking. The Selling Stakes was won by Lady Warwick, against whom an of jtetion was entered on account of the second flag not being lowerel, but this was over-ruled. Ironsides, with 2 to I laid on him, won the Trial Steeple chase. The fielders were again floored by the favourite, Stays, winning the Selling Steeplechase, after which he changed hands, Mr Tompkins having bought him for 30 guineas. Five entered the lists for the Hunt Steeplechase, but the favourite, Pet, was this time defeated, as the race a long distance from home lay between Lady Blanche aad Corban, the former, however won very easily by 30 lengths.

They ran thus till coming round the turn into the straight, where Land of the "West stumbled on to his head, but recovering himself won cleverly by half a length ; a neck separated the second and third ; Fanny Seaton, Seven-and-a-Half, and Vision were the last three.

Meanwood went away with the lead, followed closely over the first hurdles by Foxhunter, two lengths behind whom came Medora, Berkeley Hunt, and Chamade, who cleared the obstacles together, and the lot were whilped in by Zodiac, who took the first hurdles in excellent style, but refused the natural fenco leading out of the racecourse, and stood there kicking and plunging until his opponents had got too far for him to follow. Excepting that Foxhunter joined Meanwood at the natural fence into the course, and that Chamade took third place, there was no variation for the first two miles. The hurdles in front of the stand were charged by Meanwood and Foxhunter together, but on alighting Meanwood resumed the lead, and after clear ing the fence which Zodiac had previously refused, he took a oommanding lead, which he maintained to the end, and won by 15 lengths; Medora a bad third.

THE DISPUTED RACE FOR THE WORCESTERSHIRE CUP STARES.—The objection to this race, which was in abeyance awaiting the production of the pedigree of Acrobat, was withdrawn by the owner of the second hotse Meanwood, after winning the Severn-bank Steeplechase yesterday (Thursday) at Uptcn-on-Sev'ern. Although it is the in tention of Mr Illencowe to procure Acrobat's pedigree, the Worcestershire Cup Stakes and the bets thereon will now have to be I.aid over, Germany and Denmark, A letter from Berlin, dated the 31st ult., gives some details respecting the Treaty of Peace re• cently signed between the German Powers and Denmark. It says— I am enabled to send you some details respecting the document signed yesterday at Vienna between the Pleni potentiaries of Denmark on the one hand and those of Prus sia and Austria on the other. The Treaty of Peace consists of 24 articles and some annexes. The first article simply reproduces the corresponding article of the peace preliminaries. The King of Denmark cedes all his rights over Schleswig-Holstein and Lauen burg in favour of the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria. As an equivalent of the Jutland territory of Mogelhon. dern, the island of Arorom, and the Jutland portions of the islands of Foehr, Sylt, and Roemse, and which Den. mark has ceded to the Duchies, a portion of Northern Schleswig has been left to Denmark. The peninsula of Stenderup, which is situate opposite Fionia, is comprised in the Danish Schleswig. Ia granting this compensation fur the Jutland enclaves— a compensation which was eagerly desired by Denmark on account of the strategical position of the ceded territory the German Powers have wished to prove that the separa tion of Schleswig from tho Danish territory was not a first stop towards the dismemberment of Denmark. On the other hand, the Treaty of Peace does not contain any stipulation of a nature to guarantee the language of the Danish popu, latioa inhabiting German Schleswig. The sixth article stipulates the nomination of a mixed commission, consisting of the Prussian, Austtian, and Danish Plenipotentiaries, charged to proceed to the loca lities, so as to settle the details of the new line of demar cation, The seventh and following articles concern the settlement of the financial affairs. The quota of the Danish debt which falls upon the Duchies amounts to 29 millions of rix-thakrs (82 millions and a half of francs). The mode of payment of this sum by the Duchies to Denmark is settled in detail in the Treaty of Peace. Denmark is obliged to give up German trading vessels and their cargoes, in so far as they have not yet been sold by Denmark. In the latter case Denmark has to compensate the owners. There 1 to longer a Danish question, but there remains the question of the Duchies. In our Government circles the renunciation of the rights of the King of Denmark over the Duchies, in the sense of a cession of those Duchies to the two great German Powers is interpreted to mean that the claimants of succession to the Duchies must bring forward their claims before Austria and Prussia. It has now to bo ascertained whether the Vienna Cabinet shares the views of our Cabinet, which is in flagrant oppcsition upon this subject with the secondary German States, Prince Gortschakoff has been hero since Thursday. He dined yesterday at the palace. The Prince has already had several interviews with NI de Bismark, to which, doubtless, too much importance is attributed. The reconstitution of the Zollverein will be followed by important negotiations between the Zollverein on the one hand, and Rustle, Switzerland, and Denmark on the other. M. Delbruck one of the councillors of the Board of Trade, who negotiated the Treaty of Commerce between Prussia and France, will shortly leave for Paris, so as to come to an understanding with the French Government respecting the modifications to be made in the Treaty of the 2d of August, 1862, which Prussia has promised to ask for in the new Zollverein Treaties. Letters from Holland report the stoppage of tho following houses :—Mc esrs J. M, Posno and Son, diamond merchants, with liabilities of about £200,000 ; Messrs Wythoff and Son, sugar refiners; Mr J. G. Frenke, merchant; and Messre Thelon and Co„ merchants, all of Amsterdam ; Messrs De Bruyn Bros., of Rotterdam, merchants; and Messrs Van Criffalin and Co., of Rhenen, also general merchants, During the last few days there has been rathor more animation in the markets for foreign and colonial produce. Sugars have been in great demand, at an advance of 6d to Is per cwt. Coffee also has been largely dealt in at full rates, but the public sales of tea have proceeded slowly at about previous values. The high rates demanded by holders of rice has checked business in that article, while fruit and spices have been in moderate request at about previous quo tations. Tallow has been in very limited favour, and prices for both present and forward delivery have shown less firmness. TLIE ENGLISH BAR AND M., BERRYER.-At a meeting of the benchers of the Middle Temple, held on Wednesday evening in their Parliament Chamber, it was resolved to place the magnificent hall of the society at the disposal of the committee for conducting the entertainment about to be offered to M. Berryer by the bar of England, which will take place on Tuesday evening next. It is un derstood that the Attorney-General will occupy the chair on the occasion. THE AMERICAN MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, NOv. 4,—The North German Lloyd steamship Hansa, Captain Van Sauten, from New York on the 22d, has arrived here. She brings 102 passengers for Bremen, 38 for Southampton and Havre, 600 dollars for Bremen, and 5,000 dollars for France. The Hansa left New York on the 22d, and on the 27th sho spoke the American ship Progress, and on the 30th the English bark Walton, of Liverpool. No tidings have as yet been received of the overdue steamer Saxonia. It is supposed that she has broken down, and, coming home under canvas, has been delayed by the long•prevailing easterly winds. DEATH FROM PASSlON.—Yesterday afternoon a man named Howard, living in Cable-street, Liverpool, was discharged by his employer. Ho at once went into a furious passion and assaulted his master. In consequence of this ho was given into custody, but while being taken to the police-station he fell down dead in tho street. A MAORI MAIDEN AND HER ADMIRERS.—A word or two before we close about Arriana, the object of tie adoration. She is a remarkably pretty half. caste, the offspring of an Englishman and a Maori woman, Her mother died some years ago; and her father, ene of those restless, unsettled beings so often to he met with in the colonies, left her to the care of her Maori relations, and started for Australia : nothing has been heard of him since. When the war broke out she was living with a settler near Awamutu ; the family was obliged to leave, and she was car tied off by the rebels. She says that this was done against her will, and that while the fighting was going on at the pa she was tied to another woman to prevent her from attempting to escape. We suspect, however, that she was tied only by the gentle cords of love, and that a Maori warrior had some • thing to do with her presence there. When the pah was evacuated she was hit by a bullet, which shattered her arm : it would have gone hard with her in the indiscriminate slaugh ter which ensued had not some brave fellow stood over her and defended her life. No less than ten men came forward to claim the honour duo to his gallant deed ; but this was after the report of her beauty had spread over the camp, and such claimant doubtless imagined that he could establish a lien over her heart. Nay, some weeks after the fight, an enthusiastic militiaman travelled all the way from Raglan, a distance of thirty miles, and demanded an interview with the brigadier—he stated that ho was the preserver of Arriana's life—ho could neither eat, nor drink, nor sleep, f,r thinking of her—so he had made up his mind to make her his wife. He had £5O in the saving's bank, which sum he wished to devote to her education, so as to pre pare her for the duties of the married life. All that he de sired at present was an interview with the object of his affections—Arriana would at once recognise him and rush to his arms. There was only one alight difficulty— he spoke no Maori, and she know no English—but love has a language of its own—he had no doubt that they would understand one another. The brigadier, amused at the fel low's earnestness, granted the desired interview, and allowed the interpreter to be present to assist if the silent language of lore should prove insufficient. The lover entered the room with a bashful, sheepish air, and stared at Ariana, who stared at him in return; but there was no recognition on her part, no outburst of gushing gratitude, no rushing to his arms. Oa the contrary; she turned to the interpreter, and coolly asked what the man wanted; on learning which she laughed heartily, and told him to go away, as she had never seen him before, and would have nothing to say to him. The ;poor man begged, beseeched, implored, and looked unutterable things; Arriana only tittered and turned away her head. Ever since that time he has continued to urge his suit in letters, written by a half-caste amanuensis, but the Maori maiden is still obdurate. The poor militiaman is not the only man who has felt the power of her beauty, or claimed to be her preserver—so importunate were some of her admirers, that is guard had to be stationed at the hut for her protection. She has now almost recovered from her wound, and an asylum will be provided for her in an orphan institution. We have still some hopes of the militia man ; perseverance often leads to success in love as in everything else.—l'laser's Magazine for November. A CHILD CARRIED OFF BY A CUTTLEFISIL—A letter from Cuba contains an account of the carrying off of a boy eight years old by a cuttlefish. Several children coming upon the fish on the boach attacked it with sticks and stones. So soon, however, as it had got to the water's edge, it threw one ci its long arms upon the arm of the boy 'mitred to it, and to his and his playfellows' horror began to drag him into the sea. The poor child struggled to get loose and screamed agonisingly, and some of the larger boys rushed to his aid, but too late—he body was almost instantly dragged out of sight.
